How to do a devotional

     

       

        When we speak of a devotional, we are referring to a time in the day when we focus all our attention on God. In this devotional time we can do many things, such as listening to songs that praise God, and sing to Him, it is also a time when we pray, since it is a time to open our hearts to God, where we comment on how grateful we are with Him, but also where we can tell Him the things that bother us, our sadness, our frustrations, the problems we are facing. It is also a time to ask the Lord, that is  a time of requests, to tell Him of our needs, those of our family of our country, among others. During this devotional time we also read the bible it can be to read an entire chapter or a verse and meditate on this word. At this time it is important to have a notebook that would be like a diary where we can write the reading of the Bible and what we reflect on it. All these steps are not obligatory, and you do not have to do them all strictly in order, nor do you follow all these steps every day, many times our state of mind can change and there are times that suddenly we would like to sing to God and not so much read the Bible, or the prayer doesn't flow much. But something that is very important, is to try as much as possible to be constant in doing it, since it is our way of strengthening ourselves in God and maintaining our communion with Him. Finally, the most important thing at this time is to be transparent with God. As we know, God knows everything, and speaking to God with our hearts shows him how much we trust him. I want to share this verse with you in Philippians 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
